2014-09-30 10:22:31 Matthew Paul Thomas description Apparently there is a legal requirement, when volume is high, to show a warning of some sort. [Originally reported in private bug 1370591.] The EU apparently has a legal requirement, when volume is high, to show a warning of some sort.

For the purpose of Article 4(1)(a) of Directive 2001/95/EC, the safety requirement for personal music players shall be the following: Personal music players shall be designed and manufactured in a manner that ensures that, under reasonably foreseeable conditions of use, they are inherently safe and do not cause hearing damage. 2. The requirement set out in paragraph 1 shall include in particular the following: (1) Exposure to sound levels shall be time limited to avoid hearing damage. At 80 dB(A) exposure time shall be limited to 40 hours/week, whereas at 89 dB(A) exposure time shall be limited to 5 hours/week. For other exposure levels a linear intra- and extrapolation applies. Account shall be taken of the dynamic range of sound and the reasonably foreseeable use of the products. (2) Personal music players shall provide adequate warnings on the risks involved in using the device and to the ways of avoiding them and information to users in cases where exposure poses a risk of hearing damage. ____________ Related documents: http://ec.europa.eu/health/opinions/en/hearing-loss-personal-music-player-mp3/ http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-08-1492_en.htm http://ec.europa.eu/news/environment/090928_en.htm http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-09-1364_en.htm [Originally reported in private bug 1370591.]
